Chapter 13 Counselors in the Army
Seeing Ge Xuan this time, Yuan Yun only felt that the guy in front of him was really living more and more like an immortal, his hair and beard had all turned silver-white, and he was even a little shiny in the sun, if it weren't for the fact that the two of them were looking at each other at the moment, Yuan Yun wanted to ask each other, what was used to dye hair, after all, the fading agent used for hair in this era had not yet been produced.
Ge Xuan saw that Yuan Yun had been staring at him, the look of disdain in his eyes became a little heavier, sitting on this bumpy tank at the moment, he only felt very uneasy, as if he was being carried by a monster, for fear that if one was not good, he would be swallowed.
When Ge Xuan was sent by Cao Cao with a horse team, he began to tremble all over his body when he saw the giant tank for the first time, and he kept cursing the honest Zuo Ci in his heart, all he handed over to himself were some incomprehensible Taoist scriptures, and what he handed over to Yuan Yun was indeed such a truly god-made thing.
After repeatedly shouting in his heart that it was unfair, Ge Xuan blew his silver beard and said, "Yuan Yun, you have used the skills of the Daomen Immortal Family to create so many merits, but you don't see any contribution to the Daomen, is this too unkind?" ”
The corners of Yuan Yun's mouth raised slightly, but he didn't answer Ge Xuan's question, but pointed to the other party's nose and said: "You are now the counselor in the army sent by Cao Sikong, either to call the commander or Yuan Hou, and to call him by his name is to disobey military law!" ”
After scolding Ge Xuan, Yuan Yun didn't give the other party a reaction at all, and immediately said to Xiao Liu beside him: "Drag it down, deal with it according to military law!" ”
Xiao Liu had already seen that this Ge Xuan was not pleasing to the eye, and he was waiting for his own lord when he entered the door, and he didn't know what kind of leopard gall the other party had eaten, but now it's okay, the lord shouted directly, and naturally he wouldn't be polite, so he howled and said: "According to military law, if you see that the official is disrespectful, you should be punished with ten military sticks!" ”
Ge Xuan was shocked, and just wanted to refute two sentences, but he was kicked over by Xiao Liuyi, and then several guards dragged him down, and after a while, Ge Xuan's screams came from outside the cabin, and the sound was even louder than the noise of the gas engine on the tank.
Xu You looked at Ge Xuan who was dragged out, and the corners of his mouth also had a wicked smile like Yuan Yun, and said: "This is good for Ma Wei, the other party made a mistake first, even if he sent it to Cao Sikong, he didn't care about it, but Yuan Hou treated this Ge Xuan like this as soon as he came up, so he wasn't afraid that he would hit Cao Sikong with your report later?" After all, many things in our gunpowder army are different from other armies, such as those shopkeepers sent by Wu Yong on the tank, if Cao Sikong knew about this, he would inevitably be punished. ”
Yuan Yun shrugged disapprovingly, and said: "I have already greeted Cao Sikong before this matter, and now in the canning processing factory in Yecheng, who should you be the big boss behind the scenes, so this time we will snatch a large number of cattle and sheep back, of course, these must be calculated before the accounts can be completed." ”
Xu You was stunned and muttered: "The dish called steak invented by Yuan Hou before was just to bribe Cao Sikong?" ”
"Hehe, it's not a bribe, it's a son-in-law's filial piety to his father-in-law, Cao Sikong hates people to accept bribes the most, how can he make mistakes?" Yuan Yun hurriedly added.
Xu You was taken aback, pressed his mouth with his hand, and then smiled: "This mouth is really a little uncontrollable, but since Cao Sikong already knows these things, we don't have to worry, and we don't have to deal with him, Senior Brother Ge Xuan." ”
Yuan Yun shook his head when he heard this, and said: "I still have to deal with it, and Mr. Ziyuan has to keep it in jail, Cao Sikong sent this goods, mainly for me, I'm afraid that Cao Sikong is very worried about the so-called immortal family's ability by now, so he will send this Ge Xuan over." ”
Xu You nodded and said: "That's true, this Ge Xuan and Yuan Hou are from the Dao Sect, and he is still your senior brother......
"This cheap senior brother will not talk about it in the future, I have never heard the master mention it, who knows if he is impersonating or not, in short, it doesn't matter if he wanders around, but there are some important places that must be restricted, such as the lowest cabin of the tank, if he is cut by someone, we are really a little difficult to explain, after all, this Ge Xuan was also sent by Cao Sikong himself." Yuan Yun didn't wait for Xu You to finish speaking, and had already informed him of the worries in his heart.
This time he went out to the north to crusade against Karasuma, because of the needs of the war, so the supply of gunpowder and gasoline was basically carried out locally, and Cao Ang specially sent a group of people from the gunpowder workshop in Luoyang to follow.
These people are now the stewards of the gunpowder workshop, they rarely go out on weekdays, and most of the time they are in the dungeon in Luoyang, this time they were sent out, and they are still locked in the cabin at the bottom of the tank, and the door is guarded by Cao Ang's personal guards, no matter who the people in and out are, as long as there is no Yuan Yun's seal, then it will be cut down with a knife, and they will not leave their hands at all.
Xu You nodded again, and at this time, he only heard that Ge Xuan's punishment outside was over, so he bowed to Yuan Yun, and then said with a smile: "The old man went to greet Yuan Hou's teacher...... Belch...... Greet this counselor, some things he shouldn't know, the old man will definitely tell him well, so as not to make any misunderstandings. ”
After Xu You walked out, Yuan Yun instructed Shi Shen again: "You go to the bottom cabin and get those merchants to the bottom cabin, these people must not be known to outsiders." ”
After Shi Shen promised, he walked out of the cabin, and Yuan Yun exhaled a breath, the Gunpowder Army does have a lot of unsightly things, such as these merchants who came with the army, they came with the army this time to buy all kinds of loot.
Live cattle and sheep must be sent to Yecheng for slaughter, but the herdsmen of Karasuma have one more thing that is even more before, that is, furs, these things are also the most stored by the herdsmen, and it is definitely a big deal, so bring these merchants to directly select the goods, and then the baggage battalion of the gunpowder army will file them, and every time they return to the endless supply, these furs will be sent to the caravans of various merchants.
This kind of thing naturally can't be known to Ge Xuan, and I believe that not many people will think of the value of this, because everyone thinks that the greatest wealth of the Karasuma people is their cattle, sheep and horses, but they ignore that these cattle, sheep and horses also have skin, and the finished fur products that Karasuma sells out every year almost monopolize the Central Plains and the countries of the Western Regions, how can this be let go?
Yuan Yun knew very well that this time the gunpowder army was summoned by Cao Cao to crusade against Karasuma, and the final result must be Luoyang's distribution of rewards, not the imperial court, so it will become a loss-making deal if you don't make some extra money, which is absolutely unacceptable.
Ge Xuan is also a tough guy, he was beaten with ten military sticks, and before the butt of the goods was bandaged, he had already returned to Yuan Yun's cabin again, this time it was very polite, he saluted when he entered the door, and then called him handsome.
Then, just as Yuan Yun thought, he was going to check the four places of the tank now, and he didn't plan to leave a little time to come out at all, and Xu Yu didn't have time to talk to him about the cabin where the gunpowder was configured.
Yuan Yun smiled, then comfortably drained the water in the teapot, then pointed to the outside of the cabin, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Ge Xuan is invited." ”
Ge Xuan arrived outside the cabin, and did not follow Yuan Yun to the deck, but directly pointed to the deepest part of the passage at the door of the cabin and said, "Can the marshal go there first and take a look?" ”
Yuan Yun was stunned for a moment, and then smiled for a moment: "Mr. Ge Xuan is a knowledgeable person, and he knows that all the good things are hidden here, since you want to see it, then let's go." ”
After a while, several people came to the engine room of the tank, Ge Xuan looked at several huge gas engines, except for the look of surprise flashing in his eyes, the rest was full of jealousy, and he didn't know how he would curse Zuo Ci again.
After passing the computer room, Yuan Yun turned around directly and planned to go out, but Ge Xuan grabbed it in one step to stop it, and then pointed to the deeper lower floor and said, "Did the big handsome miss a place?" ”
Yuan Yun glanced at Ge Xuan's point, and immediately smiled: "You can't go there." ”
Ge Xuan was immediately furious, and quickly took out Cao Cao's handwritten book from his arms, and then said loudly: "Cao Sikong sent me here to specially allow me to see all the things I want to see, even the big handsome himself must not stop me." ”
Yuan Yun showed a look of embarrassment, and then pointed to the cabin on the lower floor and said: "There is the rationing cabin of gunpowder, and the secrets of the gunpowder technique are all in it, if Mr. Ge Xuan wants to see it, this handsome man will not stop you, but I will also truthfully inform Cao Sikong that the gunpowder technique has been fully known by Mr. Ge Xuan, as for what will happen later, it is not something I can control." ”
After speaking, Yuan Yun made a gesture of invitation, intending to let Ge Xuan go first, he didn't want the other party's blood to splash on him for a while.
When Ge Xuan heard Yuan Yun say this, a look of incomparable eagerness appeared in his eyes in an instant, and now the secret of the gunpowder technique was in front of him, and there was no way to stop him at all, as long as he wanted to, he could know it all immediately.
That crazy thought only flashed in Ge Xuan's mind, and in an instant he came to his senses, if he knew the secret of gunpowder, then there was only one end, that is, he was killed by Cao Cao under various pretexts, and there would definitely be no second option.
Suppressing his desire a little, Ge Xuan arched his hand at Yuan Yun, turned around and walked out of the cabin by himself.
Yuan Yun glanced at the back of Ge Xuan walking out, and immediately kicked Shi Shen with his foot, and then pointed to the floor by the corridor of the cabin, where a shoe had fallen out, which was probably left by the merchants who had just been hurried down.
Shi Shen's face changed, and he laughed twice in an instant, and then picked up the shoe, regardless of whether it stinked or not, and directly stuffed it into his arms, which suddenly made Yuan Yun feel nauseated, and when he gave himself earmuffs before, he seemed to have taken it out of his arms.
After Shi Shen was kicked again, he walked out of the cabin with Yuan Yun, Ge Xuan had been waiting there for a long time, and when he saw the two of them coming out, he immediately arched his hand, and then said with a sneer: "I heard that when the gunpowder army was fighting, the marshals hid behind and never went into battle in person, and such a marshal was the only one I have ever seen in my life." ”
Yuan Yun didn't take Ge Xuan's ridicule seriously at all, but Shi Shen was a little annoyed, but because of his identity, he could only force patience, but his hand had already touched the hilt of the big sword, as long as Yuan Yun said a word, the other party's head would inevitably fall to the ground immediately.
Yuan Yungang wanted to ridicule each other, but at this time he heard the horn blowing on the hot air balloon, two long and one short, this is the signal of the enemy's attack, with the sound of the horn, a large number of soldiers immediately poured out of the deck of the tank, everyone had a strict division of labor, and there were no panicked people at all.
Yuan Yun was very satisfied with the combat quality of the Gunpowder Army, but at this moment, he glanced at Ge Xuan beside him, and then Xu You, who was rushing over, asked loudly: "The counselor in the army may go into battle to kill the enemy?" ”
Xu You was stunned for a moment, and didn't understand why Yuan Yun suddenly asked this, but he still replied quickly: "There is no one in my Han army who does not fight, and the counselor will be ordered to put on armor and go into battle, and those who retreat will not be forgiven!" ”
After Yuan Yun heard Xu You's words, his face instantly put on a very proud villain look, and he turned his head and stared at Ge Xuan tightly, which frightened Ge Xuan so much that he took a few steps back, and his two hands even began to shake involuntarily.
